Patterned shirts can turn up the style notch on a casual outfit. This summer, Fashionistos, lose the long sleeve and cut ‘em short. With the right accessories, you can go from zero to 100, real quick.

This Fashionisto clearly knows how to wear the patterned shirt. His outfit includes a bold short-sleeve, a paisley five-panel hat, black sweatpants, gold necklaces and suede shoes. He strategically planned his outfit to ensure his button-down will stand out. The print of this H&M shirt looks very high fashion. Styling with neutral colors and adding gold accessories, the patterned shirt is the supreme piece in his look. The jacket and Timberland shoes are perfect picks for summer rain showers, whereas the black pants help the shirt become a statement.

His outfit looks luxurious, yet effortless. Although the shirt is what takes the cake, his navy hat stays on theme with patterns. However, the color doesn’t distract you from the short-sleeve. Rock this look on a date or to the bar with the crew.

How To: Get in the summer mood with any kind of pattern: floral, tie-dye, tile and gridlines. Next, pair the patterned shirt with black pants.
